Children love singing this round as the classroom is divided into five sections, each representing an instrument of the orchestra.
As each instrument is introduced, it is heard first as a solo, then joined by the others that have already been heard to produce a harmonious "orchestra."
Violins:
The violins ringing like lovely singing.
